In this Podcast, I am joined by Charlotte Craven, IT Contract and Licenses Manager at Cambridge Assessment. Charlotte recently reviewed my book (coming soon) and gave some feedback not only on the book but her journey in Licensing, so I was keen to get her onto a Podcast to dig into this.

Podcast Topics

  • Getting into IT and making the leap into a SAM role
  • Tips for beginners
  • Charming procurement and sourcing data
  • Top 10 spend and getting started
  • Reporting lines
  • The complexity of the role and educating end users
  • The preferred asset list / catalogue
  • Self doubt versus reality when starting in SAM
